Sump - Pit - Ejector Pump Repair - Pump Service
Sump pumps also known as ejector or pit pumps are designed to assist with forcing the water out to the main or city sewer line when there is an upward slope that make it difficult for water to travel up stream. In normal conditions, pipelines are typically designed with down grade in which the water can just travel with the help of gravity. Therefore, in an incident when waste water has to travel upwards installing a pump will be necessary.
It is not very common that ejector or sump pump problems is the last thing on anyones mind. Since these units usually require very little maintenance as long as the lift station is being serviced or cleaned on a timely manner pump failure is not very common. Though, when these pumps stop working it is important to have them repaired or replaced immediately to avoid any overflows inside the lift station or the grease trap – interceptor.
Pit Pumps | Ejector Pumps
If you have ever had pump fail inside the lift station, you already know how much of a hassle that can be. Pump failure can cause the pit station or interceptor to overflow creating a huge spillage of waste water such as sewer or grease. To get the maximum life for these pumps, it is highly suggersted that the pits are maintained or pumped in a timely mannyer. Though after a while, eventually these pumps will give out and eventually need to be replace or repaired. When there is a faulty pump inside the lift station, the alarm will go off as a warning sign that there is a problem. Therefore, when the warning noise sounds, be sure to check and make sure that the pit station is clean or the water in the station is not overflowing. We highly suggest that when this occurs that a professional trouble shoots the pump before resetting it.
Ejector Pump Troubleshoot
When you hear the alarm go off, it is usually a good indicator that there is problems with the ejectors. The issure can be resolved as simple as resetting the pump or can be as difficult as replacing it. If the pump is resetted be sure to monitor it and if the alarm keeps going off, it is a good sign that there is something wrong with the unit. Since these units run on electric power, we highly suggest to have a professional to trouble shoot the unit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS About Restaurant Sump Pump(s), Sewer Pump Services
What’s the difference between a sump pump and a sewage ejector pump?
A sump pump is designed to remove groundwater from basements or crawlspaces, mainly to prevent flooding. A sewage ejector pump, however, handles wastewater that includes solid waste from bathrooms or laundry rooms located below the main sewer line. It pushes the waste up to the sewer or septic line. Both serve different drainage needs and are crucial for proper plumbing.
How do I know if my pump is failing or needs repair?
Signs of a failing sump or sewage pump include loud noises, vibration, frequent on/off cycling, foul odors, water not draining properly, or visible water pooling in the pit. You may also notice the pump running but not removing water. These issues typically indicate clogging, motor failure, or float switch problems. If you notice any of these signs, professional inspection and repair are recommended right away.
How often should sump or sewer pumps be serviced?
It’s best to have your sump or sewage pump professionally inspected and serviced at least once a year. For homes in flood-prone areas or with older systems, a semi-annual checkup is wise. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the pit, testing the float switch, and checking for blockages. Preventative care extends pump life and ensures it works when needed- especially during heavy rain or high water table seasons.
Can I install or replace a sump/sewer pump myself?
While it’s possible to install or replace a pump yourself, it’s not advised unless you have strong plumbing and electrical experience. Improper installation can result in poor drainage, water damage, or code violations. Professionals ensure proper sizing, alignment, and backflow prevention. Given the critical role these pumps play in protecting your property, professional service offers peace of mind and long-term reliability you can’t risk compromising.
